Re: CCNA Thread
Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you on the 2nd shot. I don't know what areas you came up short in, but if your subnetting was one of them, I would recommend this site: Practice Subnet Skills: Design a VLSM Network I'm not part of it or endorsing it in any way other than to say that you can practice pretty much every… -
Re: Question about CISSP Qualification?
ArabianKnight, The CISSP is certification targeted at people who have 4-5 years of experience working with INFOSEC in two domains, physical security and the experience you have stated you have would fit into one domain. After taking the exam you have to be sponsored, which is a review of your actually experience and a… -
Re: How to ask my boss for a pay raise
I wish you luck . I earned CASP,CEH,CISSP,CSM in Honolulu and my boss said "Ah that's nice ...good job" Hawaii is a tough market. I would start with a list of key accomplishments which showed you always did more than you were paid to do . How you always went the extra mile. I would always ask my employees when they came… -
Re: New IT Security Student
At 22 you are definitely ahead of the game. Many people older than you have done the certification route and never finished college. Because you are working full time and doing your Masters, I'd suggest doing at least 2 certifications per year. Now that also depends on your personal life as well, because at 22, many were… -
Re: Want to get into InfoSec, Looking for advice...
There are several niches in InfoSec, so before you head down a cert path, it might be worth it to determine what sort of work you're really interested in and then pursue that cert... To start, there's - audit/compliance (ISACA's CISA is a good cert here) - DFIR (several certs available, the SANS offerings being among the… -
Re: Two Jobs, 1 man
Thanks for your input anhtran35. Actually I'm putting overseas contractor as number 4 on my priority list. It is a lower end contracting company that is known not to pay well in AFG. I am currently a full time student and few credits shy of my AA. I plan on pushing through to my BS in IT (not sure what focus just yet). I… -
Re: Taking ICND1 exam in about 20 min
Sooo, you do know that exam-labs.com is a test **** site right? I mean, feel proud of yourself for all of the hard work you did put in, but passing when you had access to actual tests isn't something I'd brag about... From their page: [h=5]Accurate & Updated[/h] Even more important that the price is the quality of the… -
Re: When to take study breaks???
Everyone needs to take a break once in a while. I had to take a break for about 4 months after doing my CEH to start up the band wagon for starting my CWNA and Linux+ by the end of the year. You have to read you body/mind. When you are studying, if you are feeling that it is just words going in 1 ear and out the other,… -
Re: Another WGU Graduate--BS IT-Security
Awesome man! You are much more ambitious than I... I waited 6 months to start my MSISA program there. Just keep in mind that it's no longer called the MSISA, it's the MSCIA - Master's in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. That is, of course, if you are continuing at WGU. Here is the comparison of the two programs'… -
Re: Need Help On Below InfoSec Certification Path.
Part of your plan should be something like get a job in a NOC with aim to move into SOC. The obvious steps, for Network Security, is to also get CCNP R+S and CCNP Security. Also broadening your skill set into other technologies. GSEC (from GIAC) is also a good step after Security+ and CCNA Security. GIAC/SANS is the…
